parameters for fields

i would find it quite convenient if it was possible to have fields in the templates that would accept arguments.

example would be:

$$ITEM_DESCRIPTION(200)
[<a href="$$ITEM_FILEINDIV">more</a>]

to have the first 200 characters of an item's description only.

otherwise: simply a great and useful piece of software!

I'll have to improve export, but I do not know yet how I'll do it.
Maybe I'll use scripts for that.

hmm. now that i think about it - you already have the xml export. so why not do it with xslt? it is most powerful, and im quite sure a processore in [you programming language of choice] is available .... never used it before, though.

Some people made PHP scripts and XSL files that use the XML export. Most of them are in zipped files in the templates folder.
